Baked Trout in the Oven

Description

I really love this recipe precisely because it uses almost no spices or seasonings with strong flavors and aromas. Only a juicy lemon, parsley, and dill create such a harmony of taste and smell that it's simply irresistible. It's delicious to serve trout with boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Wash the fish and dry it with paper towels. Make 8 shallow diagonal cuts on each side of the fish using a sharp knife.

   Step 2

   Rub the trout with oil inside and out, and season with salt and pepper. Fill the fish cavity with chopped parsley, dill, and lemon slices. Place the fish on a baking sheet. Sprinkle some lemon zest over it. Add a few pieces of butter on top of the trout. This will help form a beautiful golden crust on the fish while baking. You can also place lemon slices on the baking sheet.

   Step 3

   We will bake the fish in the oven using the "Grill" mode, which will help it cook faster and develop a very appetizing crust. Bake the fish for 6 minutes on each side.

   Step 4
